Additional Notes & Sources
Hawkins Children
Little was known in our family about my grandmother's sisters. My dad took down some notes from his mum many years ago before her death in 1978.
Granny's sisters as listed by herself
Annie Rose Hawkins
Amelia Jane Hawkins
Elizabeth Caroline Hawkins
Alice May Hawkins
Violet Louise Hawkins
Rose Jessica(Amelia) Hawkins (Unsure, might be Annie listed twice)
UPDATE: I now believe "Rose Jessica (Amelia)" above, is referring to Annie Rose's daughter. Rose A J Deciacco. She appears on an electoral roll as Rose Amelia and the family she married into knew her as Rose Jessie.

Father: John Hawkins,
Printers labourer
Mother: Amelia Hawkins
Address: 141 High Block
Place: St John the Evangelist,

Birth - Certificate
Name: Violet Gertrude Louisa Hawkins
Date: 31st July 1909
Father: John Hawkins,
Printers labourer
Mother: Amelia Hawkins,
formerly Allen
Address: 141 block I
Queens Buildings
Informant: F Dawson 140 block I
NOTE: Looks like a J on certificate, but previous documents have shown an I. After viewing plans for the building 141 is in block I.
Also the same day Violet was being baptised, so was her cousin Arthur Parker Hawkins/Berry. Same address, so I think he was probably living with his Uncle John for some time as he is also shown with them in the 1911 Census.
It pretty obvious whoever wrote the record put HIGH instead of I for the block/address. They make the same mistake on the record for both Violet and her cousin Arthur.
